Hostels w: Caraga, Philippines

Rating: ★★☆☆☆ (2/5) The room was spacious, affordable, and came with free breakfast, which was a nice bonus. The location and price make this hotel seem like a good option for budget travelers. However, there were several issues that affected our stay. The room was not properly cleaned and had a lot of dust. The complimentary toiletries were not provided upon check-in, and the shower drain was clogged, causing water to accumulate in the bathroom. The water supply appeared to come from a deep well and had an unpleasant smell. I also found it unusual that the pillows were covered with bed sheets instead of proper pillowcases. The most disappointing experience happened at 1:30 AM, when the receptionist called our room and woke us up to ask if they could borrow our air conditioner remote. We were told that three other guests had complained because they didn’t have air conditioner remotes, and the staff said they only had one remote available. Waking sleeping guests in the middle of the night to solve an internal hotel issue is highly unprofessional and significantly disrupted our rest. Overall, while the room size, affordability, and free breakfast were positives, the cleanliness, maintenance, and service need major improvement. I hope the management addresses these issues to provide a better experience for future guests.

It is in the center. The room is simple with convenience(shower in the room). It's all simple and clean. If you want silence, it won't be. On the first floor bar, where they sing until 12:00 a.m. But it didn't stress me. Very cool hostess Phili, cheerful, treated me warmly. Fed, gave small presents. Sometimes took me to the beaches.

Really good but walls are paper thin so you will hear every word from neighbors and only salt water available. Big plus from drinking water station and actually working AC!

I had a good time at Casavia Siargao. The location is ideal if you want to surf at Cloud9: you can walk there in 5 minutes, and it's much quieter than General Luna but still close enough if you want to spend the night eating/partying there. The private room was pretty nice and spacious, with a comfortable bed. The bathroom could use some love, but still it was ok. The staff is nice and always willing to help, and the hostel has several social nights organised via a Whatsapp group. While I didn't take part in those events, it's a convenient way to meet other travellers. My only remark was about the noise: my room was facing the upstairs social area and, despite the signs specifying the quiet time (22pm onwards) and also a 500PHP fine for people not respecting it, every night I had people making phone calls, playing the guitar or shouting loudly after midnight (or later) in front of my room and there was nobody around to remind to keep the voice down. That was annoying.

- Prides itself in being a party hostel, but is also suitable for those just looking for a nice place to stay - they have a restaurant with a good variety of food at good prices - facilties are good - comfortable beds, lockers, warm showers - wifi is not bad, good place for those working from abroad. - has events that you can sign up for - island party hopping, etc.

Rucksack is the biggest Hostel in Siargao, it offers private rooms for couple, family or group traveller and Dormitory Type rooms for Solo Traveller like me. Dormitory bed is comfortable with thick Hotel bedding, ventilation is very cool. Price is also great specially if you are budget conscious . Rucksack has its own Pool, Restaurant and Bar. Plus activities for guests every night. You will definitely enjoy your stay.

We enjoyed playing with sweet Hasmine (their Dog) very adorable. But when it comes to the room, it is spacious but needed some pest control since it is starting to have termites. Also the smell of it starting to get stronger. Staff are nice, the area is good. The CR is great. It's big. The only problem is the hot shower. It doesn't have the option to lessen the degree of the water it automatically go up until 50°c.

The location was difficult to get to. There was no signal, but they provide a free mini van transfer from McDonald’s to the hostel, really enjoyed my stay there the beds were massive and private. Aircon was really good really clean good breakfast included. The view was absolutely incredible.!! Zip line was 600 pieces just around the corner. Best views on the trip.

Great hostel for the price you pay, the location is really close to the beach but a little distance away from Siargao centre so I’d highly recommend getting a scooter for hire. Make sure you pack bug spray because being so close to the beach meant there was a lot of mosquitoes!

There was no mirror in the room, and the chairs in the room were disproportionately low compared to the table, making it difficult for me to work It would be perfect if the stairs up were cleaned several times a day because all the dirt from it goes into the room But overall the vibe is good.
